In the remote new Studio of Frank Serafine, Hollywood SoundDesigner

Listen Now Dr. Future Show 5.31.11 

For this show, Dr. and Mrs. Future visit Hollywood sound legend Frank Serafine in his new sound studio, far off the beaten track, high atop a mountain in Northern LA County.  Off the grid and sometimes bereft of bandwidth, Agent Nada works valiantly to keep the connection working, despite numerous technical difficulties.  Contact was mostly sucessful, using Skype, iPads, and ATT 3G connections..

Sound designer for over 40 feature films like The Hunt for Red October, TRON, TRON Legacy, and the Star Trek movies, we discuss the intricacies of sound design and Frank’s plans for the new state-of-the art studio.
